I then stir/fluff the infused leaf inside the shot glass until it is completely dry.
I think that last step is crucial the leaf becomes much lighter in color with a nice powder coating.

Thanks for the tips so you just use a little amount of solvent so that the herb is wet but not sitting in a pool of liquid?

Preparation

Weigh the amount of leaf you wish to enhance with DMT at the desired ratio.
Using leaf that is chopped to the consistency which it will be smoked at makes
life easier later on. Pictured is a mixture containing 4 grams of Calea leaf and 3.5 grams
of Brugmansia Sanguinea flower. Weigh the amount of freebase DMT needed to enhance your leaf
to the desired ratio. Thoroughly dissolve the freebase DMT (use about 40mL of solvent per gram
of DMT) in one of the following: 100% Ethyl Alcohol, Acetone or Isopropyl Alcohol.
You want to use a dish with a width that will allow your leaf to sit between 5-10mm high.
Add the leaf to the DMT saturated solvent and swirl it around so all the leaf is spread evenly on
the bottom of your dish. If you need to, add a little more solvent so that the leaf is well
covered. Place the dish somewhere where it will stay undisturbed for several days. It took
about four days for the Acetone to completely evaporate and the leaf to dry in this example
Once dry, the leaf can be weighed. It should be heavier by the amount of freebase DMT that
it is enhanced with.

I have a petri dish that I lay my leaf in after it has been processed to a suitable size. I then spread it out evenly. It's good to have the layer as thin as possible, but to completely cover the bottom of the dish so you don't have too much spice stuck to glass when you are finished.

Then I weigh out the spice and desolve it in the smallest amount of solvent I can. This is then poured onto the leaf, after which an excess of solvent is added, just to make sure all of the leaf is covered. I then leaf this for 24-48 hours or until it has dry solid.
